Shout out to Marty Schwartz, I learned the main lick from his free guitar lesson on YouTube, very tasty.
He has a lot of helpful lessons on YouTube, check him out. The strumming pattern for the verse chords are
the way I play it, but the timing may not feel right while singing and playing, so play around with it and see
what works for you. Enjoy!
